Nissan Supercars engine upgrade brought to Phillip Island test

Kelly Racing is trialling both an engine upgrade and the updated aero package on the Nissan Altima at today's Phillip Island test.

Team owner and technical leader Todd Kelly confirmed to Motorsport.com that a busy programme will include chasing aero balance thanks to their being less drag with the updated Gurney flap, working on linear spring solutions now twin units are banned, and trialling an upgrade on the Nissan V8 engine.

"It's only the [aero] changes that we spoke about earlier, but it's potentially shifted the balance quite a bit with a little bit less drag," he said.

"So it's taking a little bit to work out where the car is, especially at a track like this.

"There's also the springs, we've got to get our heads around setting that up, and we've had another crack at an engine upgrade as well."
